#TheaterPH - Sister Act The Musical - Manila Premier

OVATION PRODUCTIONS proudly announces its new theater offering to all musical theater fans with “SISTER ACT,” a hilarious, feel-good musical straight from Broadway, New York as it plays beginning June 27 – July 9 at the Theatre at Solaire.

Based on the mega-hit film from the 1990s, SISTER ACT will be performed in Manila for the first time on a limited two-week run and promises the audience to groove to the original score with music by 8-time Oscar Academy, Grammy and Golden Globe Award-winning composer Alan Menken (Disney’s Alladin, Beauty and the Beast, Newsies, The Little Mermaid, Enchanted, Little Shop of Horrors), with its vast inspiration of musical styles from Motown, soul and funk to great big disco anthems.

Produced by Whoopi Goldberg, TROIKA Entertainment and Sister Act On Tour, LLC, SISTER ACT received five 2011 Tony® Award nominations including BEST MUSICAL, BEST ORIGINAL SCORE (Alan Menken (music)/Glenn Slater (lyrics), and BEST BOOK OF A MUSICAL (Cheri & Bill Steinkellner and Douglas Carter Beane).

SISTER ACT tells the story of a wannabe disco diva Deloris Van Cartier whose life takes a surprising turn when she witnesses a murder, and is put into protective custody in the one place the police are sure she won’t be found – a convent! Disguised as a nun, she finds herself at odds with both the rigid lifestyle and an uptight Mother Superior. Using her fabulous disco vibe and killer voice to inspire the choir, Deloris breathes new life into the church, but in doing so, blows her cover. Deloris helps her fellow sisters find their voices as she unexpectedly rediscovers her own. A sparkling tribute to the universal power of friendship, SISTER ACT is reason to rejoice!

“ To hear people laugh and cheer the way they do at SISTER ACT — a show people think they know but are pleasantly surprised to discover is not what they are expecting — is a magical experience for a producer,” says Producer Whoopi Goldberg, who also played the lead role of Deloris in the 1992 Hollywood blockbuster.

For the Manila production, the cast of SISTER ACT are as follows:

DENÉ HILL - Deloris Van Cartier, a powerhouse disco diva wannabe with a dream of Donna Summer-esque glory. Mouthy, ballsy, brassy and quick on the quip. She has no faith in anything but herself.

REBECCA MASON-WYGAL - Mother Superior, an old-school Catholic mother superior with a spine of steel, a will of iron, and an acid tongue, but underneath a hidden heart.

BRANDON GODFREY - Curtis Shank, a super cool, super confident, smooth bad guy with soul. He is a tough narcissist with sex appeal, and charisma. He is elegant and dangerous.

WILL T. TRAVIS - Lt. Eddie Souther, a desk cop. He is charming, appealing and straight forward. He imagines himself as hip and sexy in the ‘dream’ sequence.

JARRED BEDGOOD – TJ, an undersized or oversized overeager young man with comic chops. He is the nephew of Curtis who is well-intended, but doesn’t always have the brain power to think ahead.

MOSES BERNAL – Pablo, a comic and Curtis’ bodyguard who keeps mouthing off in Spanish.

SOPHIE KIM - Sister Mary Robert, a young timid novitiate who is torn whether to take her final vows or leave the convent to rejoin the world that intimidates her so. Her shy personality masks a huge, show stopping powerful singing voice.

EMMA BROCK - Sister Mary Patrick, an upbeat, fun and the eternal optimist who is filled with love and delight in God, and friendship. A comic, she is always the head cheerleader ready for an adventure, a life experience, or between meal-time snack.

NANCY EVANS - Sister Mary Lazarus, a tough, full of vim and humor, with twice the energy of anyone half her age. She’s quick on the wisecracks and always ready to roll up her sleeves and dig in.
